“Bitcoin Opportunity Fund is focused on just Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is superior to all other cryptocurrencies,” said James Lavish, managing partner. “Bitcoin has unique characteristics of decentralization, censorship resistance and scarcity, which allow it to serve as the foundation of the next technological revolution. Bitcoin will disrupt and create new financial markets, and we believe it is important to diversify assets into this space.”
“This is the exact time investors should be investing in this space with an experienced team,” said David Foley, Managing Partner. “We are launching this fund when asset prices are depressed in the Bitcoin ecosystem due to broader contagion of the cryptocurrency industry. This overcorrection has produced outsized risk/reward opportunities that are asymmetric to the upside. We are still very early in Bitcoin’s history. Our fund puts investors in a strong position to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities at reasonable prices.”
The fund will use a hybrid approach of public and private investments to optimize returns while helping to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem across multiple layers, starting with the Lightning Network layer and the application layer.
“Bitcoin entrepreneurs continue to build and innovate, bringing new applications, tools and services to market,” said Cory Klippsten, partner and investment committee member. “Our flexible investment mandate allows us to take advantage of the best opportunities, whether public or private, early or late stage, or anywhere in the capital structure. We will invest in entrepreneurs and projects across the ecosystem, including Bitcoin mining, infrastructure, financial services, Lightning Network and other applications.”
The fund consists of experienced investors who are deeply rooted in the Bitcoin community and led by:
Managing Partner, James Lavish, CFA and former COO of LKCM Alternative Investments, LLC
Managing Partner, David Foley, Partner Equity Management Associates, LLC
Partner and IC member, Cory Klippsten, CEO and co-founder of Swan Bitcoin
Partner, Larry Lepard, Portfolio Manager Equity Management Associates, LLC
Partner, Greg Foss, CEO and Bitcoin Strategist at Validus Power
